Practising the art of Ikebana - vintage photo from Japan I like the Zen aesthetic of Ikebana flower arrangements where space is as important as the detail. The graceful, clean lines are given room to express their elegance and the favoured asymmetrical forms reinforce the dynamic. Silence was traditionally a prerequisite for practising Ikebana and the Zen masters valued it as a contemplative art form. The art of Ikebna has been taught for over 450 years. Instead of an array of colourful flower petals, Ikebana often highlights only two or three flowers combined with other parts of the plant,

O ikebana tem seus símbolos e significados. No Brasil, a Associação Brasileira de Ikebana foi fundada em 1962, e, atualmente, oferece cursos regulares e exposições anuias. Na cultura japonesa os ikebanas são mais leves, com menos flores, esta é a característica japonesa. Já os arranjos feitos aqui foram adaptados, ganhando outras características como arranjos mais cheios, com poucos espaços. Os japoneses apreciam muito os ikebanas brasileiros, que utilizam flores e elementos tropicais. Geralmente, famílias japonesas praticam há muitos anos a arte do Ikebana. Alguns viajam para sua terra natal para estudar, seguindo a linha Ikenobo, primeira escola fundada como arte no Japão. Hoje a arte é bastante conhecida em São Paulo, mas há 25 anos ninguém a conhecia. Segundo os japoneses o ikebana tem que estar sorrindo para as pessoas, tem que passar uma mensagem, sentir que toca o coração de quem vê. Um pouco sobre Ikebana Escrita com os kanjis de “vivo” (生け) e “flor” (花), a palavra ikebana significa, literalmente, flores vivas. Acredita-se que a arte tenha entrado no Japão juntamente com o Budismo, mas sua real origem é incerta. Sendo assim, a arte japonesa de fazer arranjos florais envolve muito mais do que simplesmente montar vasos com flores, já que vários aspectos espirituais e práticas devem ser seguidos durante sua realização – como o silêncio e a apreciação da natureza, muitas vezes ignorada pela correria do dia a dia. Os praticantes do kadô (華道) – ou caminho das flores, em tradução livre -, aprendem que não basta apenas juntar plantas de uma maneira bonita, mas sim a se disciplinar numa arte na qual o homem e a natureza caminham juntos. Ao valorizar tudo que é natural, a ikebana se destaca por valorizar não apenas as flores, mas também galhos e folhas que normalmente são deixados de lado nos arranjos mais comuns.

Hope everyone had wonderful holidays. I was very busy with family and guests and didn't get lot of time in fr o nt of the computer. Now t...

Last week I said I would show some other works from the Sogetsu School Victorian Branch Exhibition in the Kew Courthouse. I am only able to give a small sample of the work because not all of my photographs came out well enough. This eye-catching sculpture of teak branches and air-conditioning aluminium foil stood on the footpath as a marker of the exhibition. I was fascinated at the way the foil has a texture like fabric and it seemed I could feel a hand smoothing its' surface. It was created by Joan Norbury. This large vessel, by Denis May, was flowing over with red and yellow Leucospermum, pinwheel flowers. It was created by Joy Manie. Jennie Stuart has chosen warm orangy tones in this lily and section of a palm leaf to complement the colours in this unusual hand made basket. She has contrasted these natural textures with some rusty springs. The basket was made by Maree Brown from palm inflorescence. Sandra Gawthorpe made this nageire work using some very unusual eucalyptus seed pods she brought back from South Australia recently. Kath Dacy and Joan Norbury created this collaborative work with painted branches in a shallow black vessel with agapanthus. It seem to me to make reference to the variation number five in the Sogetsu curriculum. The same work from the opposite viewing angle. This large work was made by Toula and Betty Karanikolopoulos using Strelitizia and two match-stick bamboo blinds. On last Wednesday I travelled to Brisbane to give a presentation about my three months in Japan earlier in the year. While walking into the city I noticed this Brachychiton Acerifolia in flower. It is an Australian native of the east coast rain-forests of New South Wales and Queensland. At this time of year it may be covered in small cup shaped rich red flowers. The trees some-times have no leaves and the visual impact is great because the new branchlets that hold the flowers are also red. Here is a close-up of some fallen flowers. This week I teamed some Echium flowers with a couple of large glossy leaves of acanthus from the garden. The vase is by Nakamura Yutaka. Greetings, Christopher 27th November 2011
